MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, November 18, 2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#9) #02-2854 KEVIN MANLEY, 1973 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD, Continued <br /> Rahn stated that the shoreline and riprap restoration projects are different issues than the <br /> grading. To be consistent, Rahn felt the grade should be restored to its original state. <br /> Gaffron stated that Weinberger had believed the grading was done illegally and not <br /> according to code when the property was purchased. <br /> Manley reiterated that he never did any of the grading and questioned why the City <br /> allowed him to put in his windows and door and step down basement if they had a <br /> problem with it. <br /> Rahn stated that the Planning Commission was attempting to give the applicant the <br /> guidelines he so desired. <br /> Chair Smith stated that it seemed to be the consensus of the Commission that the <br /> shoreline be restored and, hopefully, there were some creative measures that could <br /> accomplish this without some major reconstruction. She inquired whether the applicant <br /> should be given further direction with regard to maintaining the erosion control <br /> throughout the winter, item#7. <br /> While erosion control was necessary, Gaffron could not predict when the shoreline might <br /> fail. Gaffron had no further recommendations other than to ensure the erosion control <br /> measures stay in place. <br /> Hawn asked if the Planning Commission could approve the riprap portion of the <br /> application if something other than boulder walls were proposed. <br /> Gaffron indicated that the City does not, technically, get involved in the riprap part of the <br /> application, however, the riprap becomes an integral part of the whole proposal. He <br /> indicated that he would check with the City Engineer to see if he thought the applicant <br /> could do riprap without doing the rest of the work that's needed out there. Although <br /> separate issues, these all fit together as part of the system that goes together. <br /> Manley agreed that, likely, the entire issue would need to be resolved together. He asked, <br /> once again, for someone to tell him what he could do. <br /> Rahn stated that he could not vote on a motion without knowing hardcover figures. <br /> Suarez stated that the hardcover figures were included on one of the survey proposals and <br /> that he intentionally left off the deck in the calculations due to the controversy around it. <br /> PAGE 25 of 29 <br />
